Why do Porsches (and the ilk) send other drivers into rages??

If someone wants to go faster than you, just move over and let them pass.

I tend to drove a bit fast and if someone comes up on me, I move over and let them go by. I ask that others do the same when I come up on them. Unfortunately there are lots of rude and inconsiderate drivers that don't move over or worse slow down as they think that is teaching the person behind a lesson. All it is doing is showing you are an inconsiderate asshat.

I have no problem with someone driving slow or at a speed they are comfortable at. I don't expect nor want them to match my speed, especially when I am in one of my Op-cars and they are in a Prius or whatever. Drive what ever speed you want, just don't hold up people behind

All they have to do is move over and let the faster traffic pass. In many states, that is even the law.

Lets face it, a Porsche is safer at 20+ over than most cars are at the speed limit

By all means I will be a miserable ass to people that on a double lane residential road , they are on your ass driving side to side.
I do however move over if you come up on me fast and not tail gate me I'll have no problem pulling over to the side of the road to let you pass. Same thing for when I am in a new area or looking for an address I will pull over and let people pass.

I live right by my kids school and you know who the worst offenders are? Mothers dropping off their kids at school. Try obey they school zone limit and they are on your ass or pass you in the oncoming lane.

Any four lane road I always keep in the right lane except for passing people.

Renegade pickup trucks, criminal moms, sounds like south Indonesia

Problem with "resisting" is you just never know what's coming your way. Could be the guy who is trying to get his wife to maternity, or Ms Seagul White below. In both cases my best advice to you is accel until there is a safe pass or get the f out of their way. Put on the meditation music for safe recovery.

You goin' to brake 10 less on this guy? Got bad news for you, won't work lolll

I should have read it better.

Residential street, they are worse than an ass, not you

Yea, Soccer Moms are the worst

For tailgaters, brake light check them a few times, they generally will drop back

Stay alive every one! No Road Rage (Ms Seagul's got some crazy fingernails)

Just wanted to add.... that ... it wouldn't be a 1st time for me to see a guy in a Porsche... who could have done better with a Public Transport Card.

Oh and, Porsche family secret: +50% of the time when ppl tailgate you, its because they want to race with you no harm

Back in the 70's I was following a car with a bumper sticker that said, "Honk if you love Jesus." They were very popular bumper stickers at the time, and I saw them everywhere. Thinking it was a fitting thing to do, I lightly tooted my horn with a couple of quick "Beep beep"s.

The other driver rolled down his window, flipped me off, and sped away. Seriously.

Maybe that was their plan to find anybody who loves Jesus and flip them off

I speed up and get out of the way.

Could be a medical emergency

Could be late for work

Could be an incompetent / dangerous driver

Most likely just a jerk driving fast "winning" the only way they can I'd rather not associate with

I've posted this before but I had a pickup truck racing up an on ramp literally pushing me over a lane while "merging" when the red and blue lights came on behind him.

Get a bumper sticker that says "honk if you are a moron" and see how that gets reactions.

I use the rear fog light it works well

I never experienced angry drivers until I started driving the Boxster. WRXs and Muscle cars tail gate or speed up past me all the time. It's quite amusing. I'm enjoying my drive too much to care.
